He just wants to stay alive
Exactly! You are the first one to finally recognize in my opinion what is really happening here. He hasn’t been brainwashed. He isn’t a liberal snowflake. He is a puppet of the state run television. Cuban television is probably immortalizing Castro and discussing the great things he did for Cubans. Who knows what this poor young man has been threatened with! The Cuban government has not soon forgotten the ways of Castro: threats and propaganda. I highly doubt there is one Cuban who is truly that favorable of Castro. Heck, I bet his own brother is glad to see him dead.
I say good riddance to bad rubbish!
